Comment OSK always broken (Score 1) 91

My Surface tablet has taken to booting into the menu... with enough tapping an on screen keyboard pops up... but it's *never* worked. If you didn't buy a keyboard with your tablet you'd be shit out of luck because that's the only way you're ever getting Windows to progress past that. No timeout to default.

Maybe if Trump's first term was the end of it. But by reelecting him and more notably every supposed check and balance failing, the US has proven it can't be trusted not to elect another destructive idiot again in another 4 years. Also, they know Trump is a demented old fool, he's not the one coming up with the major steps to tear down this country. This is what the people controlling the GOP want ... all laid out in Project 2025.
It will take decades to get back to where we were even if we managed to never hand power to the right again. Which is unlikely to happen because people are so goddamn stupid, hateful, and brainwashed. And the Democrats are controlled by people who outright prefer Republicans to the kind of leadership we'd need to even begin repairing the damage.

Get a better version of Windows 10, and get standard, non-extended support through 2032. It's weird that even tech sites just run with Microsoft's scary talking point uncritically. "Windows 10 support ending!"-- for the most popular versions sure; for all versions or the best version? NO. Are they pressuring people to not mention certain alternatives? You'll push this scam where you're forced into an internet sign on for your local desktop that massively expands the spying they do on you, but not mention that Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC has mainstream support until Jan 2032?
An individual would have to jump through some hoops to get it fully legally-- difficult but not impossible; but with this kind of scummy exploitative shit, no idea what the argument against gray market or even piracy is. It's a much better version for most use cases, and you can reinstall the missing crud if you need it for compatibility. Incompatibility claims are hugely overblown.

Kimmel didn't do that and it's still far from clear he's not, what with the groyper memes on the bullets from that day and all, and ridiculous arguments otherwise: being trans doesn't even prove the trans person is liberal (hello Caitlyn Jenner) let alone that his roommate/partner/whatever is, and Joseph Smith like claims about "oh we destroyed it but our recreation says...". Notice how you're a giant fucking liar? Republicans are the least trustworthy people on earth so forgive me if I don't take his parents words confirming he just happens to be exactly what their cult has been 100% convinced of since before Kirk was cold. What they'd get endless death threats for not saying from their own side. That somehow he changed to far left, but still had groyper shit on his bullets, and picked the person the groypers hate most over the much better targets if you're a psychotic lefty instead of psychotic righty. Considering how delusional you all are about who's hateful and how much projection there is in your rants about it, generic messages about hate aren't more persuasive either.
